Peter is correct.  It was my intention to slowly phase it out, but now
that I think about it, if I completely remove the -R option, getopt(3)
will tell the user that it's an illegal option and display the usage.
I think this is enough to motivate a user to read the man page, so I'm
going to completely remove the -R option before committing.
